LIVE LARGE
I have been blessed by two newly
acquainted
ladies that I am proud to call
my "Friends"
My Mr. Simply had brought
in the mail the other day and
there was a padded envelope
for me
from
CRICKET
and
CAT
"TWO LADIES OF THE SEA!"
If you do not know these ladies
who are cousins, please stop by
and visit them.
Cricket wants to return to the
sea as a mermaid and find a
pirate to flirt with.
She has tossed her message in a
bottle to aqua blue sea and hopes
her pirate will find it.
The first thing I pulled out of
the envelope was a mysterious
black box with a sheer pink ribbon
around it.
Was it something for me
from the sea.....
oh me...oh my
you will have to wait to see
I used one of my favorite
milk glass pedestal dishes because
the ruffled edges reminded me
of girlie girl clam that would be
in a mermaids' cave...lol
I have always loved to make up
children's stories for my children
especially when we traveled.
In the black box was an
adorable necklace that said,
"FUN" on one side
and
"SUN" on the other side.
I LOVE IT CRICKET.
Cricket sent me a beautiful shell
and a white piece of sea glass.
I was over joyed because it was the
very first piece of sea glass I have
ever held.
Cricket sent this awesome card.
I don't know if you know but she
has Lupus.
Lupus is an ugly disease when it
becomes active.
We had a lady in our church,
the piano player, that went to
heaven one year after being
diagnosed.
Cat said, Cricket is non- compliant.
Cricket
LIVES LARGE.
Lupus does not define her or keep
her in a box.
She lives life on her terms...
a nurse
a single mother
and lives to scour the beaches
for shells and sea glass.
Next to Paris, I want to go to
the private beach
Cricket went to
that was loaded
with shells...oh how I wish I COULD
HAVE BEEN THERE WITH YOU
CRICKET.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING
A PART OF THE SEA TO ME.

Please remember Lori and Noelle
It was so very sad to me when she
said her blogger family is all she has,
and she is so very lonely.
This is a very tragic time for her.
Please just take a minute and go by her
blog and let her know you are thinking
of her.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are the meek, for they
shall inherit the earth
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst
for justice,
for they shall have their fill
Blessed are the merciful, for
they shall obtain mercy
Blessed are the clean of heart,
for they shall see God
Blessed are the peacemakers
for they shall be called,
children of God.
Blessed are they that suffer
persecution, for justices' sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven,
